The library of the European history seminar of the University has Just re ceived as a gift from Miss Helen C. Har wood, a book of high value and interest to students of French history. It is a history of the Bastile from the building of this famous Parisian prison in J370 to its memorable destruction early in the French revolution. Mies Harwood be came interested in this subject during her studies under Professor Fling a few years ago and later while pursuing her researches in Paris she secured this book. It is issued in a sumptuous edi tion by the city authorities of Paris and no expense has been spared in the re production of first hand historical ma terial both in letter press and fac simile. Plans are being made to establish in connection with the Domestic Science Department a lunch stand for serving mid-day meals. While this is a new feature at the Uuiversity of Nebraska, it has been successfully tried in connec tion with the high schools in the larger cities. Hot lunches will be served at nominally cost prices, the idea being not to run it for profit, but for the bene tit of those Btudents who are compelled to take cold lurches and it is hoped that the patropage wiil be such as to make this feature a permanent one.
